It has a lot of body roll, little bit of body roll, it's not real necessary

I'm 5'8" (68"). 54" on me would come up to my armpits, and when I stood next to the car at the Royal Oak unveil, it seems like that's about where it was.
Scott Settlemire is over 6' tall... here's a picture of him getting in. I think his legs are bent a little...
One more time, just to be clear, he was driving a preproduction car. Suspension tuning wasn't final, and he was there specifically to give his feedback on the car, suspension included.

I did like the fact that they did drill into Rick about his tenure at GM.
I did notice one thing...GM is paying much more attention to China then America, but then again...American hasnt been paying much of anything to GM.

I don't think that's true.
China has ~1.3 billion people. The U.S. has 0.3 billion. China is more than four times more populous. So, when GM sells twice as many Buicks in China as it does in the States, that means the likelihood that a given person in China owns a Buick is less than half of what it is here.
GM is paying attention to China, that's for sure. But more attention than here? I don't think so.
